Patrick meets the rest of the office mates at Phone Services, Inc. including: Carol the sultry seventy-something aspiring starlet, Wendy the Actress/Model/Event Planner and office hottie, Ted the sharply dressed and ambiguously gay ‘Serious Actor’ searching for his masculine side, and Shaun the company owner who has no control over his employees despite his gruff East Coast demeanor. Coffee is for Closers starring Karen Black (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces) parodies the world of struggling actors in the Hollywood scene who pay their dues by dialing phones and playing whatever character will get them the deal.
